Tonvara L-Glutamine Premium Amino Acid

The importance of L-Glutamine is demonstrated by the fact that it is the most abundant amino acid in circulation. The total body L-Glutamine levels are in the range of 100,000 mg with the concentration in the blood being 3-4 times greater than all other amino acids. It is actively transported, & metabolised in nearly all tissue. L-Glutamine is a major fuel/energy source for the entire body. It is particularly concentrated in the brain, skeletal muscles, gut lining, lungs, heart, kidneys, & liver where it has multiple & critical functions.

The intracellular concentration of L-Glutamine in muscle is a regulator of muscle protein synthesis or muscle building & supports muscle glycogen accumulation. When there is L-Glutamine depletion, there is a breakdown in muscle. Studies indicate L-Glutamine counteracts steroid-induced muscle atrophy. In such scenarios, bodybuilders and athletes can benefit from supplemental doses of Tonvara L-Glutamine.

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body accounting for approximately 30-40% of total body mass. A 150 pound male would ideally have about 60, 000 mg of L-Glutamine in these muscles. Free stores of L-Glutamine in muscles exceed those of any other amino acids.

L-Glutamine aids body detox. It is used in the liver & kidney to make urea & ammonia which are normal breakdown products of protein, which are then excreted. L-Glutamine participates in the detoxification of the ammonia.

L-Glutamine supports energy production. It is a glycogenic amino acid which means it can convert to sugar for energy production, a process called gluconeogenesis.

To further aid its highly effective digestive functions Tonvara L-Glutamine is presented in a formulation with added Acidophilus for extra digestive support.

Each tablet contains 500mg of L-Glutamine and 75mg of Acidophilus (which provides Lactobacillus Acidophilus 75 million).

Typical dose is 1 to 5 tablets per day. This is only a basic dose recommendation. For bodybuilders and athletes there are infinite possible variables and consequently they will want to vary their doses according to personal training cycles, routines, diets and lifestyle.
